hislaziness··on Cloud GPU Resources and Pricing
I do not see any of the AI processors like the Google TPU. Would they be cheaper?
hislaziness··on QEMU 8.0 Released With 32-bit x86 Host Support Deprecated
Does it mean DOS/XP are not supported anymore? That would be sad.
hislaziness··on Tell HN: Google search partial outage while rolling out new search?
Works fine in Asia.
hislaziness··on Apple joins Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in tech industry layoffs
I believe the Title is typically not written by the author. I would guess the Title is optimized for clicks.
hislaziness··on China: A genetic experiment that inserted tardigrade genes into human stem cells
Not to digress but we are not able to regulate / control the use of genetic engineering, how can we regulate the current GenAI hype?
hislaziness··on Planets without stars might have moons suitable for life
Geothermal energy should be enough to sustain life.

hislaziness··on Ask HN: How to Learn LLM Fundamentals
Papers would be good next step. The concept and the algorithms do not seem very complex. The training and fine tuning is what needs effort and infrastructure.
hislaziness··on Ask HN: How to Learn LLM Fundamentals
I really liked this series. https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html
hislaziness··on Elon Musk and top AI researchers call for pause on ‘giant AI experiments’
A bit too late I guess. The only way this will stop is when people realize their expectations were misaligned and things start failing spectacularly.
hislaziness··on The most detailed portrait yet of data breaches in Australia
Where can we find this type of data for other countries? The data here is from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Fascinating story. Daemon domes from Maxwell's thought experiment.
hislaziness··on New ATLAS result weighs in on the W boson
"For this new analysis, ATLAS physicists revisited its data collected in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV (corresponding to 4.6 fb-1, also used in ATLAS’ previous measurement). Researchers employed improved statistical methods and refinements in the treatment of the data, enabling them to reduce the uncertainty of their mass measurement by more than 15%."
hislaziness··on Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early Experiments with GPT-4
It does not have to be "me". My point is we seem to have a different benchmark for Natural Intelligence vs Artificial Intelligence.
hislaziness··on Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early Experiments with GPT-4
For whatever reason we seem to have set a very high expectation from AI as compared to NI (Natural Intelligence). I remember reading "There is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."
hislaziness··on Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early Experiments with GPT-4
I remember reading this somewhere - "There is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.". Though I do not think GPT-4 is even close to AGI it can definitely claim to be better at faking it than many intelligent beings can.
hislaziness··on GitHub Copilot X – Sign up for technical preview
Copilot with GPT-4 model, chat and voice, pull requests, command line, and docs to answer questions.

Can someone with access check this for me please. Does bard remember giving a different answer earlier. does it acknowledge that the answer was wrong?
hislaziness··on Yes, it is remote workers who spiked housing, rent costs
Don't think I understand the argument here. Is it causation vs correlation issue?
hislaziness··on Tell HN: Instagram's API has broken, support tickets ignored, status page green
Impact of the layoffs?
hislaziness··on A growing number of scientists are convinced the future influences the past
Where can I read a more scientific treatment of this topic?
hislaziness··on The U.S. military is missing six nuclear weapons (2021)
Article is from 2021. And the last nuke lost was in 1968. Wondering if all the nukes lost are still viable as a weapon?
hislaziness··on Mind-Expanding Concepts (Spring 2023)
Nice collection.
hislaziness··on You might not even need a data platform
Do we really need a data platform?
hislaziness··on Ask HN: Consolidating Multiple Data Sources
Thanks. Debezium looks interesting but it is a bit different than what I am looking for. I am looking for an api approach so that other systems can pull the data without having to worry about is it batch or stream.
